BulkSupplements.com Niacin Powder - Vitamin B3 Supplement, Niacin Flush - Gluten Free, 500mg per Serving, 1kg (2.2 lbs) (Pack of 1)

I've been on a weight loss plan for the last few months and for the most part it's been working. I did have one hurdle, however, and it was keeping me from getting to my ultimate goal. ENERGY DRINKS!! I couldn't seem to get through my day without just one Monster about midway through my day. I knew that the caffeine itself wasn't bad because it was the only bit of it I had for the entire day. The same could be said for the ingredients that are actually good for you. The problem was with the sugar and other ingredients that your body just doesn't need.This is where Bulk Supplements came in. They gave me a way to get the supplements I need without the sugary crap in a can! I purchased B12, Pure Caffeine powder, Niacin (B3), and Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid). This little cocktail has revolutionized my entire day! I take it first thing in the morning and within minutes I have my full Niacin flush. It's a little intimidating the first time around, but you eventually get used to it. I'm able to get through my ENTIRE day with no jitters, no elevated heartbeat, and just as importantly, no crash! The combination of supplements I'm taking has helped my metabolism to increase and burn fat as energy. I've already lost another 5 pounds since I started this regiment.Now I won't lie and tell you that it's a tasty little treat each morning. Because it isn't. It taste like a mixture of ground chalk and powdered aspirin. But that is to be expected. These are vitamins, not pixy sticks! I combine them all together and then toss them down the hatch and chase it with a cold glass of milk and some oatmeal. I did originally try to dissolve them all in a glass of water. This doesn't work and anyone that tells you it does, isn't being truthful. It clumps up at the bottom of the glass and no matter how hard you try, it stays there.I am extremely grateful to Bulk Supplements for helping me to achieve my goal and will most definitely be a returning customer!p.s. You will probably see this same review a couple more times for the other products I purchased. My review and opinion is the same with all the products I've received and I don't like trying four ways to say the exact same thing. :)THANKS BULK SUPPLEMENTS!!

I purchased this for detox with my Infrared Sauna. I've been reading quite a bit about this procedure that it creates a flush then a dilation of the blood vessels. That in conjunction with exercise, sauna, or hot tub, brings about a very deep sweat detoxification. I will attest that this is indeed a very good B3 (Niacin) because I was reading that you should start with 100 to 200 mg, and I went with 100 mg which brought about a very uncomfortable flush. True to a great deal of what I read, the flush came with in 10 minutes (for me) and it was like I was on fire! I then got into an already heated Sauna for 25 minutes and was able to sweat faster and quite a bit more then I usually do. I'm a *hard* sweater, takes a while and I mean sometimes its annoying, I can sit in a sauna that is 135 and I still won't sweat until it reaches approximately 145, then I start to feel sweat droplets trying to form. By the time it reaches 150 - 155 I'm sweating in a good way, but with the Niacin, I was already sweating with the temps in the 130's, so this is good for me. I sauna approximately 1 to 2 times a week, so that's as much as I will use Niacin, and from my research, that's within the minimum guidelines. Apparently, your body will get used to the Niacin, but I will err on the side of caution and lower it to 50 mg next time, and increase the dose if its necessary. Niacin has quite a reputation for other health issues, such as heart and blood vessels, lowers LDL cholesterol, etc. I'm very satisfied with the quality of this Niacin, very fine powder. I used 1/16 which is a bit above 100mg, and next time I'll lower that to 1/32. You can get these tiny measuring spoons on Amazon...they come in a set of 1/64, 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4.

This stuff is great, I was taking pills before and I'm sick of all the needless ingredients in the pills. I saw someone gave this product one star and said "I broke out in a blotchy rash on my chest, shoulders, arms and legs. My ears were burning up and my head got really warm after drinking the recommended dosage." That's what Niacin does when you first take it if you haven't built up a tolerance; it's called the Niacin Flush, you have to build up a dosage to it over a little time, you can't just start taking a large amount on the first day if you haven't taken it before. If you've never taken Niacin before read up about it first - amazon carries an excellent book on Niacin written by Abram Hoffer, Andrew Saul, and Harold Foster (see picture). I recommend this product and I've been taking Niacin for decades to improve my cholesterol levels.
